• Open on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., this farmers’ market is the perfect place to spend at least a solid hour reveling in the quaint charm of the stalls and the buzz of happy, environmentally-conscious consumers. Other perks include numerous free samples of fresh, locally grown and locally made products such as fruits and artisanal cheeses, as well as the Community Cat Rescue adoption fair. If you’re looking to actually buy something, make sure to arrive early, before the organically-fueled masses come knocking down the street

Cantor and Anderson Art Galleries:

• Drop by Stanford campus and visit these two adjacent art galleries for a classy break in your day and many Instagram-worthy backgrounds. The Cantor Museum fields one of the largest collections of the famous French sculptor Auguste Rodin’s work, many of which sit just outside the center in the Rodin Sculpture Garden. According to the gallery’s website, the Anderson Art Gallery’s claim to fame is being “one of the world’s most outstanding assemblies of modern and contemporary American art.”
